I hope this isn't another lost year, but it's beginning to look that way My buddy says the Cubs got 3 relievers at Iowa that should have been up last week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) Senzel scratched from the lineup tonight due to knee soreness. Hopping it isn't anything that is a long term injury because he finally has had sustain success. If he has to go to the DL will that be the time to bring up De La Cruz Edited May 30, 2023 by IU Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Reds up 1-0 in the 2nd inning. I doubt the Red Sox starter will last to long because he has already thrown 59 pitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Reds are blowing a lot of opportunities to open this game up. Still up 1-0 going to the bottom of the 4th but we have left 7 guys on base. Had a runner on 3rd and no outs last inning but didn't score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know about this game because my father in laws cousin, Bud Zipfel, hit the homer that won it in 16 innings for Tom Cheney... 21 strikeouts (still the record for a game) and 228 pitches... Bud's still alive, in good shape, and get to talk baseball with him at the family reunions...always a thrill for me... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Reds bullpen is trying to blow a 8-0 lead. Up 9-3 going to the 9th the Red Sox has cut it to 9-6 with two runners on and 1 out. Cruz gave up 3 runs in the 7th and Salazar 3 so far in the 9th. Now they had to bring in Diaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Reds hd on to win 9-8 and the tying run left on 3rd. The Reds scored 9 runs but they were 1-15 with runners in scoring position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Andrew Abbott, 24, SP, CIN (AAA)31.1 IP, 13.21 K/9, 4.02 BB/9, 3.16 ERA Abbott walked all over the Southern League earlier this season, posting a 1.15 ERA with 20.68 K/9 and 1.72 BB/9 in three starts. The Reds got him out of there in a hurry – possibly because the pre-tacked ball used in that league was obscuring aspects of his development. Since arriving in Triple-A, Abbott has reverted to a good-not-great trajectory and there’s still risk he’ll eventually land in the bullpen. From a stuff perspective, he has a starter’s repertoire. Like most young pitchers, Abbott’s command can be inconsistent and mostly draws negative comments. There’s reason for concern about home run prevention, especially at Great American Ball Park.
